INTREPID bank employees cycled 500 kilometres whilst at work.

Staff at Cheshire Building Society in High Street, Runcorn, raised £725 from a sponsored exercise bike marathon for Motor Neurone Disease.

With other events, they hope to reach a target ot £1,000.

Kayleigh Burnett, customer representative, said: “It was really good fun but it was very hard work, much more difficult than cycling outside.

“Some of us did 20km at a time. We kept each other going.”

Branch manager, Jayne Ross, joined her team, Kayleigh Burnett, Melanie Waring, Barbara Crowe, Margaret Hartshorn, Vicki Ablett, Max Wright and Michelle Brookes, to cycle 10 miles a day each.

With colleagues from branches across Cheshire, they hope to raise £100,000 and raise awareness for Motor Neurone Disease.

Staff would like to thank everyone for their support and Karen’s Cards for supplying balloons.
